JORD Sully Wooden Watch Review and #Giveaway

A funny story/tidbit about me and Kevin....When we first started dating, I went out of my way and tried really hard to get him the ultimate Christmas gift. Even though we had only just started our relationship, I knew he was the one. So I knew the first gift I gave him I wanted to set the expectations and express to him how strongly I felt. I went out and shopped around a ton, then spent quite a bit of money on a really nice watch for him.

After all my efforts, Kevin informed me as he opened the gift, he didn't wear watches and would not have a use for this gift. Sorely disappointed I can tell you that still after seven years of marriage, I haven't bought a watch for a single person, including myself. Surprisingly, when I was recently asked by JORD to review one of their wooden watches I was finally open to it and adding this accessory into my style again. Being that this was such a unique gift and more than that an eco-friendly one, I thought it was about time I give one a try.

"It's about time someone delivered an unconventional answer to age-old wrist candy. JORD watches are designed to take people back to nature and away from today's metal & rubber. We want to challenge the norm by making unique time pieces as a focal point for everyday fashion." JORD provides "wood watches are one of a kind, premium quality time pieces, hand-crafted with sustainable materials from all over the world".

JORD sent me over their Sully Series Cherry and Maple Watch. I love the contrasting colors as they truly show the different features in this watch and as they state in their description, it makes it obviously even from a distance that this is a wood watch. The glass face is 33 mm in diameter is scratch-proof and on the other end you can find a single action locking clasp made from stainless steel.

Alana actually decided to scoop this review up the minute it arrived through the door and even though its a bit big for her she loves it. All we had to do was remove a few links to get it to fit better around her tiny wrist. We absolutely loved the quality and unique design of this accessory.

Cost/Available to Purchase: $139 Sully Series Cherry and Maple Watch
Recommendation: I think these are great and really awesome quality too! I love the fact that because they are made of a natural wood, no two watches will technically be the same. I don't really see myself paying this much for a watch at this point but in all honesty it's priced really well compared to both other watches of this style AND utilizing a natural, sustainable material.

Giveaway: JORD is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a Sully Series Cherry and Maple Watch to have of their own! This begins tonight at 8pm 3/10/14.

I would love to win this watch for my husband...he doesnt have much that was passed down from his dad to him (he lost a lot of stuff in floods and all) so it would be nice to have something like this watch to be able to hand down to our son.

I love wood and the entwined Cherry and Maple look just beautiful together. I think the Mr. would claim this one though. He is a carpenter by trade so I'd have to give in and let him have it if I was lucky enough to win it. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful watch.

I'm so excited/hopeful to win this watch because it is freakin' gorgeous! It's rare for something to be both unique AND understated, and this watch is both. As you can tell from how much I love it, this watch would be for ME, haha.

I absolutely love the #JordWatch. My favorite is the Ely Series Watch in the Cherry Color. These watches are so different and unique like me. If I am lucky enough to win this awesome giveaway I would choose to keep it for myself

If I were lucky enough to win this watch, I would be giving it as a gift to my Dad for his Birthday, which happens to be April 28th. Dad would be excited beyond belief to get such a gift from me! My Parents have done so very much for me, it feels so good to be able to something sweet for them.
